Now Moray Council is working with RAF Lossiemouth, Highlands and Islands Enterprise, Moray College UHI, The University of the Highlands and Islands, Skills Development Scotland, DYW Moray, NHS Grampian, Boeing and Gordon and MacPhail in efforts to create a more skilled workforce in years to come.
The local authority is also looking to recruit a Stem officer on £60,000 per year to continue and accelerate the process of changing the culture around Stem and build bases with various firms.
Council depute chief executive Rhona Gunn said the benefits will “be realised” 10-15 years from the beginning of the initiative.
Mrs Gunn said: “This workforce will also able to benefit from the opportunities that will arise in the skilled workforce to work remotely allowing the benefits of well paid jobs located elsewhere in the world to be spent locally.
